PurposeIn the era of digitalization, digital technology has transformed businesses and created enormous opportunities for organizations worldwide. Unsurprisingly, research on digital transformation has garnered significant interest among academics in recent decades. However, this study aims to recognize the key and holistic antecedents influencing digital transformation in manufacturing firms. This study also investigates the indirect relationships of antecedents with firm performance.Design/methodology/approachThe hypothesis was investigated using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The data was collected from 279 employees through a self-administered survey of manufacturing firms.FindingsThe results described a significant and positive impact of competitive pressure, leadership role, organization culture, organization mindfulness, government regulation, and IT readiness on digital transformation and firm performance. Furthermore, digital transformation partially mediates the relationship between antecedents and firm performance.Originality/valueThe study finds a holistic perspective of the critical antecedents of digital transformation using the mediation role of digital transformation and moderating effects of firm agility. Additionally, all antecedents have a significant association with Firm Performance.

“…Khodaei et al [48], suggest that domain alliances are alliances made up of actors in the same industry, while link alliances are cross-industry alliances. Despite the great emphasis on equity alliances, the logic of lowering total transaction and production costs can be extended to explain non-equity alliances.…”

This paper investigates absorptive capacity’s significance in mediating strategic alliance and organizational performance using the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) Warp PLS 7.0. The online and offline questionnaires were distributed to 308 Indonesian MSME owners/managers. The results suggest that strategic alliance directly influences the organizational performance of MSME’s technology-based in Indonesia. Further analysis attests that absorptive capacity partially mediates strategic alliance and organizational performance relationships; this research is specific to MSMEs in Indonesia, and thus generalization to other countries needs further verification. MSME’s owners or managers can use the knowledge on the relationship between the strategic alliance and organizational performance, including absorptive capacity in mediating the relationship, for policymaking and manifesting strategic alliances through collaboration with partners to achieve companies’ common goals is also highly recommended.

“…Attaining useful resources is necessary for venture growth that can be achieved through managers' EO capabilities and competencies (Cassia & Minola, 2012). EO is essential for obtaining valuable resources such as knowledge, information, and opportunities, especially in the entrepreneurial process (Khodaei, Scholten, Wubben, & Omta, 2021; Lin, Cao, & Cottam, 2020; Yin, Hughes, & Hu, 2020). Coherently with RBV theory, it is advocated that firms' superior growth can be explained in terms of the availability of useful resources.…”

“…Factors such as discovering opportunities mediate the relationship between newly‐established firms and new venture performance (Donbesuur, Boso, & Hultman, 2020). In other words, searching, identifying, and recognizing new opportunities as well as acquiring external resources need risk‐taking behavior (Khodaei, Scholten, Wubben, & Omta, 2021). Thus,H8a Tangible resource acquisition mediates the association between risk‐taking and new venture growth.H9a Tangible resource acquisition mediates the association between innovativeness and new venture growth.H10 Tangible resource acquisition mediates the association between proactiveness and new venture growth.H8b Intangible resource acquisition mediates the association between risk‐taking and new venture growth.H9b Intangible resource acquisition mediates the association between innovativeness and new venture growth.H10b Intangible resource acquisition mediates the association between proactiveness and new venture growth.…”

This study scrutinizes the mediating role of tangible–intangible resources between entrepreneurial orientation and new venture growth. We analyzed the data of 308 Pakistani manufacturing‐SMEs through the AMOS. The results displayed that risk‐taking and innovation significantly while proactive do not influence new venture growth. Risk‐taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness significantly influence tangible–intangible resources. Tangible–intangible resource acquisition does not mediate between risk‐taking and new venture growth; however, it partially mediates between innovativeness and new venture growth and fully mediates between proactiveness and new venture growth. This research recommends owners/managers of new ventures to emphasize entrepreneurial activities to access external resources for survival.
